Theyet her have another 20mins!! Happy happy happy family right here!!

Comment by Julyasmom on July 31, 2015 at 8:01pm: Anna... Don't you worry I have already sent out a letter!! Well...one envelope I have written every night since she's left.

Comment by Anna on July 31, 2015 at 7:30pm: Good news from several of you. Hubby and I are at a campground outside Glacier National Park and we have no cell service and no internet!!! :( Tomorrow we head back to Helena, MT so I can keep in touch a little better!!!

lovey,

Sorry to hear about your daughter's pap test. I hope everything comes back normal for her. I have learned over the last couple years with my daughters that abnormal pap smears are a lot more common then back in our days. My veteran daughter always had an abnormal test but it's something that is not life threatening and she just needs to keep an eye on it. It could end up clearing itself up in a few years. I hope your daughter's results are nothing like that tho. You don't need more things to worry about!!!!!!

julyasmom,

So happy you got the box and the form letter!!! Now you can flood her with letters and start making those plans for PIR!!!

proudtrojanmomma,

Did you get your box and letter yet????

cjbmom,

I don't know how much time you have before her birthday and what week she is at in A school, but I've seen links online for making cakes/pies in a jar for sending overseas. I guess they last longer. If she's phased up enough she should be able to receive a care package from home. The gift card is a good idea either VISA or you can get a NEX card.

MamaBear,

I've seen comments about the questionaire on here also.

gabbsmom,

I'll look for the info for you. And I will also be getting a personal welcome message to you soon!!!

Vickyrun,

Congrats to your daughter on her orders. So happy for her!!!!

Welcome to all our newest members - I will be getting welcome messages to you as soon as I can - praying this internet connection continues. We have to drive 45 miles west to the West Entrance of the park to get cell service just to check in with the kids!!!! Unfortunately, the Eastern side of the park is still on fire and probably will be until the winter they say!!!!

Comment by Julyasmom on July 31, 2015 at 6:45pm: Good afternoon Ladies! Got the form letter! PIR slated for 9/18!! Can't wait to start getting letters! Of course you all know I already sent out that first letter!

Beautiful pictures Blondie!

Comment by spyder013 on July 31, 2015 at 4:23pm: Beautiful!

Comment by Coreena on July 31, 2015 at 2:12pm: Blonde
If you have an iPhone you can take a screen shot when you have the pic up on Facebook. That way you can share it. That's what I did, didn't make prints though.

Comment by Vickyrun on July 31, 2015 at 12:27pm: Good morning all, Chrissy got shore duty so she will be staying in VA with her hubby. She is happy.

cjbmom, birthday ideas; I sent homemade goodies. Chrissy did not like the galley food in A school.

Comment by Oneofalot on July 31, 2015 at 10:55am: Good Morning to Everyone.

Happy Friday to everyone. Hope everyones weekend is fantastic. I get to paint my house this weekend. Yippee!!! Until it gets to hot to paint. That will be around 9. So very short time painting this weekend.

Comment by Oneofalot on July 30, 2015 at 4:47pm: Thanks. Today is my daughter S last day of the semester. She doesn't need me to babysit every week. She has asked if I'd come over one day a week so she can do homework but not a set time. YEA. I was starting to not like babysitting. Now I can enjoy it again.
